13-year-old found alive in Turkey
ERCIS, Turkey -- Rescuers, working under floodlights, pulled a 13-year-old boy alive from the rubble of a collapsed apartment building early Friday, over 100 hours after a massive earthquake leveled many buildings in eastern Turkey, killing at least 550 people.
A picture by the state-run Anatolia news agency showed a rescue team carrying, Ferhat Tokay, out of the debris, wearing a neck brace. In other pictures from a field hospital, he appeared conscious and looking at his rescuers. Tokay's rescue came 108 hours after Sunday's magnitude-7.2 earthquake, the agency said.
Rescuers also Thursday pulled a young man alive from the rubble of a collapsed building. Turkey's Anatolia news agency said the man, identified as Imdat Padak, 18, was rescued by an Azerbaijani crew and was flown to the nearby city of Van and was dehydrated, but in good condition. -- AP
